Her whole mind went blank in a matter of seconds, it was as if she was 100% sure about her thoughts.
"No wonder he didn't seem to be dating any other girls, but if that's the case why does he always try to protect girls and be sensitive about matters relating to them?"
She quietly followed them while getting lost in her stream of thoughts.
"Aiden I am asking you this again one more time, we're you involved in the murder of Daniel? Everyone including my father has their eyes on you and for sure Daniel's father will definitely do something.
You know that he is not someone who had the guts to kill himself, he was a scary cat, everyone knew that. So whether you were involved in it or not, you need to be careful. I can't be at the company all the time with you, but don't worry I will always be there by your side.
We swore to be brothers, after all. Noir said tapping on Aiden's back."
"This is my floor, I will get off now.
Adrienne cheer up! both of you, congratulations on your first day of work, he said right before the elevator door closed again.
"So, Miss Adrienne Garcia, I guess you can see that has happened now. Everyone has started to think that it is me." Aiden said slowly taking steps towards Adrienne. He put his hand on the metal wall while leaning against Adrienne, and brought his face closer to hers.
"I am really sorry master, don't worry in any case I'm ready to come out as who did it.
There is no need, he whispered in her ear."
Her mind was running down in a stream of new thoughts "just now he wanted me to come out as the murderer, and why the hell is he telling me not to go out as the murderer?"
She wanted to escape the warm embrace he was bringing to her, her heart was beating so fast that she finally decided to get away from him. When she tried to escape him, he pinned her against the wall, making her head bang on the metal wall.
"You know what Adrienne? even I am confused these days, sometimes I feel like I should be nice to you but you see most of the time I wish I could strangle you to death.
You itself is confusing my whole life, and don't try to misunderstand me, I don't like you at all. Maybe I just pity you because of how you are. I wish I could not have such confusing feelings anymore, I hope you will know about the consequences of me falling in love with someone that my family doesn't want? If not just try to find it out, your worst nightmare will come true for sure."
His words were confusing her, for the first time she saw a warmer side of his. It was as if he was saying these words because he was sincerely worried about her being a target of his family.
So does this mean he has feelings for me? She thought again and again trying to figure herself out, but it didn't seem that way for me. It was as if someone who was not right in the head was trying to pursue a girl.
"Master Aiden, I have no such feelings for you and I promise you that I will never get meddled with your family."
For some reason he felt hurt too, he didn't expect her to tell him something like she doesn't like him, instead, he expected to hear something warm.
His overconfident mentality where he thought that every girl likes him was ruined but at the same time, he knew that it was not her fall. "it was me who told her not to like me and I got that in return" he told himself.
he finally let go of Adrienne leaning against the railing.
she quickly pressed the floor number and went to a place that was as far away as she could be from him.
The elevator door opened into a floor that could be called a house of a royal, they walked along the corridor where they met the other secretarys who was in charge of his all paper works, the moment Aiden appeared in their vicinity they stood up and bowed their heads as if they were robots who were programmed to do so.
"There is something that you need to do for me, Aiden said opening the door to his office.
Is master what it is?
When I am done with the invitation, you need to go and deliver the invitations for the inauguration ceremony tonight for every higher up, and all the acquaintances of our company.
Especially to Mister Leroy and Madam Leroy!
That will be it, you can go now, He said taking a seat."
Though she was expecting to hear something thrilling he was too calm to talk about something like that, why is he someone who raises his voice to say something abnormal and whispers when it is something good?
After all, he was a man of secrets, Adrienne thought to herself.
She went to the office room that was allocated for her, though it was small and minimalistic it was beyond her expectations. A room which was built of everything in white, anything of another colour could have contaminated it.
After talking her coat off, she went outside to greet everyone else who was there. The moment she went there they all stood up.
It's okay girls, you don't have to do that for me, being respectful to Master Aiden is more than enough. Therefore no more of that, Adrienne said putting out a smile.
"Miss Adrienne, a lot of documents came in today, they require you to go through them before they are sent to CEO Aiden.
Oh if that's the case, please send them to my office.
Miss Adrienne, there is one more thing, a while ago the police came here to meet CEO Aiden, but since his alibi was strong enough, they left after confirming the fact that master Aiden was at the hospital all the time."
"Up to now, we have received 5 case reports from the investigations, one of the others spoke up.
Can you brief me on that? Adrienne said.
Yes mam I can sure do that, hence according to the first case report, she is demanding 1 million dollars to keep her mouth shut. She brought up 5 criminal charges against late Voice chairperson Daniel but is willing to drop the lawsuit down upon compensation.
The next one, Adrienne said.
The next woman is yet 17 years old, therefore it makes this lawsuit much stronger. She claims that she was dragged out of the house by Daniel because she was unwilling to go out with him, she too is willing to drop the lawsuit upon rightful compensation.
The Next case is indeed a tough nut to crack, she is claiming that she has a child who is our late vice-chairpersons. She says that unless they take the child into the family, she will never drop the lawsuit. She says that she doesn't want any money but to meet the late chairperson's family.
Were you able to confirm whether the child is our vice-chairpersons?
No mam, but the investigators found out that she indeed gave birth to a child very recently."
Get me a file on her profile! Adrienne said and quickly walked to Aiden's office.
